Let's talk Northwoods

[GunGraber]

It does seem to be a mattte finish rather than polished. I like it. Think it looks fitting.

 

[Leslie Tomville]

agreed

Got mine, all excellent F&F. Beautiful knives. The burlap and black linen are real nail breakers to open, ouch!
Denim is easier but still a strong pull, these are the toughest to open of any of my NWs.

I had a forest jack that was very strong and snapped like a mad snapping turtle, vicious.

So will they break in? And if so how much could the pull actually go down by?

Here's my edc Northwoods

Got my red linen Little Bay today!

What a little masterpiece. I totally regret not trying for more than one of these, the little clip blade is such a winner.

Just looking at this knife on my coffee table here makes my brain generate endorphins. I would love to see some sort of ivory option in the future.

Forgive my ignorance but where did the name Little Bay come from?

I'm just guessing but I'm also from the U.P. and when I read the name, the first thing I thought of is Little Bay De Noc
Here's a pic for reference.

So when KSF finally does a jack on the 98 frame...BAM! The Big Bay!

The pull should become smoother with break in. Flush the pivot with oil and work the blade back and forth. Another way to lessen the pull is to leave it partially open, so the spring is flexed.

Thanks Caleb!

I added a small EO notch into my Lil' Bae, but I can still barely pinch it open. Still plenty of room to make it bigger, though I'll post some pictures this afternoon.

I've used both these methods and will probably do so with my 'Bays

I also got some pretty cool KSF stickers- one Snickers bar label and one Jurassic Park style.
Anyone else get some?

Cannot wait to see this! I really enjoy EO, like on my Michigan Jack

I did get a round KSF sticker that was in the Converse shoes style.

 

[MessOnAMission]

Very pleased with it
